Product Description
"You know, you can never tell what a person has to offer you unless you're able to be open to that person and go to them and see what kind of communication you can have." - "Slide" Hampton Virtuoso trombonist Slide Hampton is in a class all by himself. A self-taught left-hander, he plays with amazing ease and precision to achieve his uniquely melodic and soulful sound. A veteran of the Dizzy Gillespie and Woody Herman bands, Hampton has been the torchbearer for Jazz and the Be-Bop tradition. He has become one of the most respected band-leaders, composers, and arrangers in jazz. The Grammy® nominated SWR Big Band continues its critically acclaimed series of Jazz Matinees with a disc that will be the jewel in any Jazz lover's collection. "Slide" demonstrates that he continues to reign as supreme master of his instrument and one of Be-Bop's greatest spokesmen. This very special recording also features Hampton's own Grammy® Award winning arrangement of Ellington's Cottontail!

5 out of 5 stars Extraordinary!!.......2005-09-02

Amanda McBroom is so hard to find here in my home country. Her discs are mostly only available at Hi-Fi specialty shops here where they are used to test hi-fi equipment and to show off how good the equipment (or is the album?) sounds. That was where I first heard her songs from the album "Dreaming".

"Midnight Matinee" is no exception as again the quality of audio is flawless. Amanda's songs are so good and her voice crystal clear that it is no wonder why her albums are used as test discs. The opening song "Crimes of the heart" starts the album off and you immediately realise that this is going to be another one superb outing from Amanda. I am also immediately taken in by "Make me a kite" where her vocals float, rolls and flies off with the music. The rest of the songs equally shows off her prowess and skills as an amazing vocalist.

There really is no equal to Amanda and her vocals and music on this album are exquisite, beautiful and textually rich. This is a vocalist like no other and it is amazing how little publicity she gets. Treasure this!

Album Description

It's a rockin' eclectic set of instrumentals (Well, okay, there is one vocal,) that's at home in a smoky lounge with over-dressed patrons and over-dressed martinis. It just as much at home with half the room rocking while watching the other half swing. The Boston Globe (1/21/99) said, "No Label for these Suits! Four Piece Suit does a swinging instrumental hybrid of surf. lounge, rock and jazz. The sound is suave and playful with non-stop banter between Dave Sholl's sax and the three remaining pieces: Milt Reder's guitar, Dean Cassell's bass, and Lorne Entriss's drums.

Four Piece Suit in the flesh--er, suits--whips up a nice camp-infected rumpus, and on disc it doesn't disappoint. It's new CD, "Matinee Idyls," is mostly composed of originals, mingled with covers such as a surfy take on Patti Page's 'Old Cape Cod' and 'It came from Ipanema,' a woozy relation to the Ipanema song."

4 out of 5 stars Top quality swing..........1999-05-03

This band has a whole lot of fun with their music and it shows, both in their recorded music as well as in their live performances. The music ranks as well as the Voodoo Daddies and the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Some of their pieces harken back to the "Beach Blanket Bingo" style of lounge act and others are reminicient of the 1940s crime dramas. All around fun. Highly recommended.

              Album Description

              Thanks to the recordings being released as part of the faszination musik series, the SWR Big Band is swiftly establishing itself as one of the true custodians of the Big Band tradition. For those of you waiting to hear the SWRBB cut loose and strut their stuff, THIS IS THE DISC FOR YOU! Joined by veteran jazz trumpeter, Clark Terry, the smooth swing of Count Basie and the piquant rhythms of the Duke are given an enthusiastic workout. And as a very special encore, Clark gives us his ever-popular “Mumbles returns”… auf deutsch, bitte! As in their previous recording with Phil Woods (HÄN 93009), the SWR Big Band gives us another treasure to add to the storehouse.
